== RAGE OF THE GODS ==
Once Kratos upgrades the Blades of Chaos to Level 2, he can then use
the Rage of the Gods power.
It's sort of like Devil Trigger (from Devil May Cry). When activated,
Kratos enters God Mode and can decimate enemies like flies. But you can
only use ROTG when the Rage Meter is full.
To fill the meter, you need to kill enemies. The more enemies dead, the
faster the bar fills. Press the L3 and R3 Button to activate Rage.
Once Rage is activated, you CANNOT deactivate it! It continues until
the meter empties so use it wisely!
== ENERGY ENHANCEMENT ==
--GORGON EYE
Every six of these that you find increases Kratos' health bar.
--PHOENIX FEATHER
Same as above but it increases Kratos' Magic meter.
--MUSE KEYS
You only need two Muse Keys to open the secret Chamber of the Gods room
inside the Rings Of Pandora. Can't find them? Read the walkthrough to
find them.
**BIG NOTE: The Prima Strategy guide lists 36 Gorgon Eyes and 36
Phoenix Feathers available in the game. In actuality, Kratos can only
extend his Health and Magic bar 4 times. Kratos only needs to find 18
of each item to extend the meters (that's 3 meter extensions) and then
the last upgrades come from the Chamber of the Gods.
== ESSENCE ==
There are three types of Essence:
--RED ESSENCE (BLOOD)
This is used to Power-Up your Weapons and Magic in the Menu screen.
--BLUE ESSENCE (MAGIC)
Found only after obtaining Rage of Poseidon.
--GREEN ESSENCE (HEALTH)
Found by killing humans or opening specific Chests.
== THE COMBO METER ==
As you rack up your Combos with hard hits, the meter on the bottom
right, adds up your each time and labels your brutality as follows:
10 HITS: VICIOUS
10-20 HITS: GORY
30-40 HITS: SAVAGE/INHUMAN
40-100 HITS: BLOODTHIRSTY/RELENTLESS/MERCILESS
100-200 HITS: PITILESS/TYRANNICAL/IMMORTAL
200-300 HITS: FEROCIOUS/GODLY
300-400 HITS: OMNIPOTENT/OLYMPIC
400-500 HITS: ALL POWERFUL/HERCULEAN
500-1000 HITS: SUPREME/UNEARTHLY/IMPOSSIBLE
VARIOUS TERMS
When enemies are killed in specific conditions, new terms appear.
--RUTHLESS KILL: Kill any enemy using a simple Grab (not when the
Circle Button appears)
--BRUTAL KILL: Kill any enemy using the buttons that appear above their
heads when they are weakened
--MUTILATION: Kill an enemy with the Blade of Artemis
--RUINED: Kill an enemy that is airborne (like those Harpies for
example) with Medusa's Gaze and let them shatter as they drop
--CRUSHED: Kill an enemy frozen during Medusa's Gaze
**BIG NOTE: Whenever you finish the game, your upgraded items DO NOT
carryover to another new game. Whenever you start a new game, you begin
with the usual weak weapons. Yes, it SUCKS that it works that way!
That's all you need to know for this section.

--AREA 1: SHIP BOW
Welcome to God Of War! Test out all your skills and eliminate all the
enemies until a cutscene occurs.
After eliminating all the enemies, walk up to the metal grate and mash
the R2 Button to open it. Jump down to the next area.
Open the Chest to replenish Health and destroy the Barrels to fill the
Blood Meter. Head through the hallway on the right and destroy the
barricade. Continue through the hallway to your first sub-boss battle.
++ SUB-BOSS BATTLE: HYDRA SPAWN ++

MMMMMM MMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMM
Woohoo! Boss battle time, YEAH!
BOSS TACTICS AND EVASION:
This battle may look difficult but it actually ISN'T. The Hydra Spawn
only does a One or Two-Chomp attack every time and can be evaded with
simple back rolls.
Stand near the entrance doorway and wait for it to do a Two-Chomp
Attack (you'll be safe here). Immediately roll in twice and perform ONE
combo on the Spawn and then IMMEDIATELY ROLL BACK TWICE to the doorway!
Repeat this tactic until it keels over.
Believe it or not, that is the pattern for this particular fight.
Practice this tactic and you can basically beat this boss unscathed.
Once you've dealt enough pain on its scaly ass, it'll keel over and a
series of Buttons will appear above its head.
Get up close to the head and press the following buttons when they
appear: CIRCLE, TRIANGLE, TRIANGLE, TRIANGLE, TRIANGLE
When performed correctly, you'll witness the most INTENSE Brutality of
a boss you'll ever see on a game. If the opportunity is missed, you'll
have to start all over again. The boss's HP will fully regenerate AND
YOU DON'T WANT THAT!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
--AREA 2: BACK OF THE SHIP
After the battle, head forward and walk through a series of bars
Prince-Of-Persia style. Continue through the destroyed hole on the left
side and continue through. Ignore the prisoner (you can't help him
anyway) and head up the stairs. Destroy the barricade and then open the
door. Head outside.
Destroy all the winged foes and kill the defenseless humans to
replenish Health (BRU-TAL!). Continue through to another sub-boss
battle on the deck.
++ SUB-BOSS BATTLE: HYDRA SPAWN ++
MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMM MMMMMM

MM MM MMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMM MMMMM MMMM MMMMM
MMMMMM MMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMM
Unfortunately, no button pressing Brutality can be found here. DAMMIT!
BOSS TACTICS AND EVASION: The sub-boss has three attacks.
--HEAD POUND
It'll pound it's head on the deck in a left, right, center pattern.
Remember this pattern!
--SWALLOW
It'll grab Kratos and try to swallow him alive. Mash the Circle Button
to open the jaws and counterattack.
--SWIPE
It'll do cheap swipes with its head to knock you off your feet. Use
timed double jumps (straight up) to avoid getting damaged.
--WIND GUST
Technically not an attack, but it uses this move if Kratos moves too
far away. SISSY!
Whittle the boss's health down to ZERO to trigger the next Checkpoint.
Jump down to the water and swim to the other side. Climb up the ropes.
**If you need Health, open one of the doors on the right side of the
boss and then open the Chest to replenish.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
--AREA 3: SHIP TO SHIP
Climb up and eliminate the enemies here. Walk the bars to the other
side. TAKE YOUR TIME AND BE CAREFUL! There's a Chest on one side filled
with Blood.
Cross the bars and head for the ship to trigger a cutscene. Once the
cutscene finishes, open the Chest to replenish Health.
SAVE GAME
Head down the ship and hide behind the large Crates to avoid arrow
damage (which you can block, BTW). See that small crate on the right
side? You need to push that thing all the way to the other side.
If you try to push it manually, it will probably get destroyed halfway
though. Instead, press the R2 Button and then press and hold the X
Button to do a charged strong kick. Doing this will fling the crate a
far distance. Do this until you can safely push the Crate under the
pillars.
**If you need extra Health, slay the humans hiding behind the Crates
(BRU-TAL!).
Jump on the Crate and then jump up to where the bitch-archers are and
slay them all. Open the nearby Chest to replenish Health and continue
through the hallways outside.
Unfortunately, you cannot save the women and children locked in the
Captain's Quarters. Instead climb the ladder and then the ropes all the
way up to the top of the Ship. Eliminate enemies on the way up or just
keep pressing the Jump Button to quickly get to the top.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
--AREA 4: THE LORD POSEIDON
Jump to the top of the Ship's sail and then grab onto the long rope.
Slide down to the next area.
There are three barricades: the left barricade contains a Blood Chest,
the right barricade has a Gorgon's Eye, and the middle barricade is the
next Checkpoint.
Destroy the middle barricade and head through to a cutscene.
++MAGIC POWER OBTAINED: RAGE OF POSEIDON
After the cutscene, destroy all the enemies that appear. (Use your
newly acquired Magic if you want.) Once that's done, head through the
halls outside.
SAVE GAME
Replenish your Health and Magic Meters at the Chests and then climb up
the rafters.
++ BOSS BATTLE: HYDRA, HYDRA SPAWN x2 ++
MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMM MMMMMM
MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMM MMM MMM MMMMMMMM
MMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMMMMMM MMMM MMMM
MMMMMMMMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMMMMM MMMM MMMM

MM MMMMMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMM MMMMMM MMM MMM MMM
MM MM MMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMM MMMMM MMMM MMMMM
MMMMMM MMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMM
Remember the last sub-boss battle? Yeah, same thing from that battle
applies here.
BOSS TACTICS:
You need to attack each Spawn (one at a time) until it keels over. Next
to each Spawn are stacks of Crates. When the Spawn is down, jump on
those Crates to the top and then jump on the large anchor hanging to
Brutally pin it down. Do this for both Spawns.
ENEMY STUPIDITY:
This is my best tip ever! When fighting the two spawns, stand in the
corner near the crates (on the bottom of the TV screen) on either side.
Kratos can stand here for the entire fight and NOT GET DAMAGED! WOW!
After each spawn does an attack, counter with a 2-Hit Combo and pull
back. Once it keels over, bring the hurt.
++ MAIN BOSS: HYDRA ++
MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMM MMMMMM
MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMM MMM MMM MMMMMMMM
MMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMMMMMM MMMM MMMM
MMMMMMMMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMMMMM MMMM MMMM
MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMM
MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM
Finally! Climb the ropes to trigger the epic battle.
BOSS TACTICS:
Hydra only has one attack (technically two): a painful Chomp bite and
its useless Roar.
BOSS STUPIDITY:
Does this fight look hard? Absolutely NOT! This battle is even easier
than the Hydra Spawns! After Kratos climbs the ropes, stand in the spot
where he emerges (this is what I call the Safe Spot). You can stand
here for the entire battle and not get hurt! WOW!
KILLER STRATEGY:
Don't walk on the planks on the left or right side. STAY WHERE YOU ARE!
Lure the Hydra to chomping the plywood. Stand in front of it to lure
it. When it starts moving its head back, IMMEDIATELY go back to the
Safe Spot. When it chomps the plywood, quickly do a 2 or 3-Hit Combo.
Repeat this tactic until you whittle its health to 50%. No damage when
done correctly.
BLOODY BRUTALITY:
Once it keels over, run up to the head and press the Circle Button
(Kratos has to be standing opposite the pole from the Hydra's head).
Kratos will fling the blades and pull it. Mash the Circle Button to
smash the Hydra's head against the pole! After doing that, the Hydra is
released. You need to do this tactic two more times to break the pole
into a large stake.
Once the stake is exposed, whittle its health down some more and when
it keels over, press the Circle Button and start MASHING! Kratos will
pull out its eye and impale its head on the stake! HELL YEAH! GODDAMN
BRILLIANCE! NOT EVEN DEVIL MAY CRY 3 IS THIS BLOODY!
After the battle, go and walk inside the Hydra's mouth to trigger a
cutscene. You'll obtain a Key Item.
After that, head out and climb up the crates. At the top, open the left
Crate for a Gorgon's Eye. Slide down the rope back to the other ship.
SAVE GAME
Ignore the enemies here and go back to the Captain's Quarters and open
the door. Head through to end the level.

Watch the titillating cutscene! After that, head out of the bedroom and
SAVE GAME.
THE CANDY SHOP:
If you want some extra lollipop licking (wink, wink), jump on the bed
and press the Circle Button to get your freak on with the honeys!
Follow the buttons shown onscreen for maximum...satisfaction! You get
some extra Blood for scoring. Remember, you can come back here anytime
during the first half of the game.
AREA: ATHENS DOCKS
Exit the ship and you'll encounter stronger Demon soldiers. Use simple
Blocking and counters to kill them. Continue on after that.
Before reaching the first elevator, jump through the large crack on the
right side. Swim towards the ledge and double jump to the door. Kill
the enemies here and continue through the hallway to a Chest with a
Phoenix Feather.
Jump on the Crates outside the hall back to the Dock. Head for the
Elevator and go up to encounter a new enemy.

You'll encounter 3-4 mini-taurs here. Use simple blocks and quick
Combos to whittle its health down. When the Circle Button appears above
its head, press the button to tackle it down. Mash the Circle Button to
do a fatality. Do it for all of them and continue to the other
elevator. Head up.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
AREA: OUTSIDE ATHENS
Exit the elevator to encounter a new enemy.
ENEMY: MACE-WIELDING FIENDS
Use simple evasion and hard Combos to whittle its health down. When the
Circle Button appears above its head, press the button and a series of
Random buttons will appear. Press them quickly to perform a fatality.
Kill all the Fiends to break the Red Seal. There's a Chest hidden in
the corner just near the open doorway.
Enter the door and continue through the hallway to a room with metal
Crates. See the wooden Crates holding the Metal ones? Break those
apart! There's two Wooden Crates to break. The Crate in the upper left
triggers a new doorway. Jump and shimmy your way to that door.
**There's a hidden Chest in this room with a Gorgon's Eye.
Enter the doorway and walk up to the Power-Up station to trigger a
cutscene. After that, its battle time!
++ NEW ENEMY: GORGON (MEDUSA) ++

Medusa is NOT a hard enemy to kill. Use continuous rolls to avoid the
Stone Gaze and simple Blocks to avoid its tail swipes. Pile on the hurt
until the Circle Button appears above her head. Get up close and grab
her. Rotate the Left Analog Stick in the directions you see on the
screen to perform a fatality.
++MAGIC OBTAINED: MEDUSA'S GAZE
From here, use the newly acquired magic to kill the mini-taurs. Use the
Chest to replenish magic if you need to. After all the enemies are
dead, continue through the hallway and climb the ladder up.
**See that dead soldier hanging there? If you can jump to his beam,
you'll find two hidden Chests with Blood.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SAVE GAME
Pull the lever at the top to rotate the large Bow and Arrow. Use it to
break open the wooden door. Head through the hallway and take the path
to the left. Slide down the ladder and kill the enemies.
Open the Chest here for a Gorgon's Eye. There's nothing else here so go
back up the ladder.
See that other ladder on the right? Climb it up to head outside. Climb
the walls and jump from wall-to-wall while evading and killing enemies.
At the last wall, climb down and carefully tread on the ledge.
Stand in between the pillar and the giant statue and rapidly mash the
R2 Button to topple it over to trigger a cutscene clue.
Jump down and climb the ladder on the other side. Kill all enemies here
on the way up. Destroy the weak pillars to reach the higher roof and
climb up.
Kill the enemies here and use the Bow and Arrow set. Jump on the rope
to shimmy Sam-Fisher style. Rid the enemies in your way to the other
side. Slide down the ladder and open the metal door with the Helmet
logo.
Use the Bow and Arrow set here to bust open to the wooden door. Kill
the Mini-Taurs and head for the ladder and go down. (Go up the ladder
for extra Chests with Essence.)
Exit the area and head for the middle of the bridge to trigger a
cutscene.

AREA: ENTRANCE TO ATHENS
Walk up the stairs and head for the center of the bridge to trigger a
cutscene. Enter through the large curtains to trigger another cutscene.
SAVE GAME
There are two paths. Take the one on the left. Head down the stairs and
an explosion will block the way. Head through the gate for another
battle.
ENEMY: MINI-TAUR W/MALLET and SWORD
To evade its Mallet Smashwave, roll to the left or right! Double
jumping will get you hurt.
STEP-BUTTON PUZZLE:
You need to use Medusa's Gaze to freeze the Mini-taur as it steps on
the button to open the gate. From there, quickly roll to the open gate
before it un-freezes. This will take lots of attempts but the Chest
here will always replenish your Magic.
AREA: ATHENS VILLAGE ROAD
As you battle through the town, you can destroy the doors for each
house to find Chests. There are 2 Phoenix Feathers and 2 Gorgon's Eye
in this road alone (I'll let you find them.)
Kill all the enemies here. Head for the roadblock and destroy it.
Can't find a way to the other side? At the tip of the roadblock is a
piece of hanging rope above it. Do you see it?
Double jump up to grab it and swing your way to the other side.
Head outside to Athens Town square.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
AREA: ATHENS TOWNSQUARE
Continue on until you see another new enemy causing havoc.

Use simple evasion and hard Combos on this fool. When the Circle Button
appears above its head, press the Button to fling the weapon to its eye
and pull it out. You have to do this 3-4 times before it dies.
Kill all the one-eyed freaks to continue on through the newly opened
doorway and through the hallways.
Inside the first room is a hidden Chest behind the Greek painting
walls. Destroy them and open the Chest to find a Phoenix Feather.
Follow the woman as she heads up the stairs. Before you jump the small
gap (where the woman is waiting for you), bash open the large wooden
door near the gap to find a hidden room with a couple of Chests. Head
outside and continue.
Jump the gap and continue up the stairs to a cutscene.
SAVE GAME (open the Chest on the left side of this Save Point to find a
Phoenix Feather)
Jump down to where the woman fell and grab the Key Item. Sigh, make
your way BACK UP AGAIN! This time you'll encounter enemies on the way
back. Follow the onscreen directions to kill them and head back to the
Save Point upstairs.
Jump to the mini-bridge on the right side and use the Key Item. Open
the hatch and jump down.
SAVE GAME
Head through the hall and open the large gate at the other end.

Make your way to the green shrubbery on the wall and climb to the top.
Enter the doorway to encounter a new enemy.

You have to be creative with your evasion and BLOCK! Counter with a
Cyclone Of Chaos to whittle down their health. Another way to stop them
is to grab them. They rarely block so it's easier to grab them.
Press the Circle Button when prompted to perform a fatality.
You need to kill ALL the enemies in this area in order to proceed. Kill
the enemies on the floor your on and then ascend the stairs and kill
the enemies on the rooftop.
Once that's done, exit through the doorway and you'll come across a
platforming area with Archers. Jump and climb your way to the other
side and continue.
**You'll notice there's a Chest with Blood on a ledge. Jump on the
first pillar and crawl and jump your way to that ledge. You can also
bash down the door next to the Chest and kill the enemies AND those
annoying Archers if you want.
Head for the building with the Save Point inside.
SAVE GAME
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
DO NOT CLIMB THE LADDER NEAR THE SAVE POINT YET! I will explain why in
a second.
AREA: ZEUS'S BUILDING
Exit the Save Point room and head for the mini-bridge (you'll see
Archers on the roof).
As you make your way up the bridge, turn left to see a large Bow and
Arrow contraption. You'll also see an open doorway next to the Bow and
Arrow and a sealed doorway across from it.
Push that contraption into the open doorway and into a small room with
a large wooden door.
You'll see a door on the left and one on the right side of this room
that can be opened. Open the left door to find a lever and some
enemies. Kill the enemies that appear but DO NOT PULL THE LEVER YET!
ZEUS PUZZLE SOLUTION:
Notice that the Bow and Arrow set is facing opposite the wooden door.
To spin that thing around, look at the large circular tile in front of
the left door (it has a Helmet logo on it).
--Place the Bow and Arrow set on top of that Helmet logo tile and then
pull the lever in the room to spin it 90 degrees.
--Remove the Bow and Arrow from the tile and pull the lever to reset
the tile.
--Place the Bow and Arrow set on the tile AGAIN and pull the lever to
rotate it 90 degrees more. When done correctly, the Bow and Arrow
should be facing directly at the doorway.
Drag that thing across the doorway and shoot an arrow into it. Proceed
through to meet with Zeus.
++MAGIC OBTAINED: ZEUS'S FURY
Head outside and kill the Archer's with your Magic to continue. Head
into the newly unsealed door and break open the crack in the wall to
find Chests that contain a Phoenix Feather and a Gorgon's Eye.
Make your way back to the Save Point room.
SAVE GAME
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
NOW CLIMB THAT LADDER UP TO THE ROOF! Kill the enemies that appear on
each roof top. Use Zeus's Fury on the Archers when trying to cross the
ropes to a set of Chests.
**Continue up the roofs until you meet a cowardly bitch who won't open
the Drawbridge because he's PUSSYWHIPPED! To get him to raise the
bridge, shoot a lightning bolt up his ass and the bridge will rise.
(**This is dedicated to all the people who couldn't figure out how to
get this dumbass to open the bridge. I FEEL YOUR PAIN!)
Continue past the bridge into a small room with Chests that contain a
Phoenix Feather and Gorgon's Eye. Head down the hallway and kill the
Wraiths on the way to the elevator on the other end.
Enter the elevator and go down.

Head up the stairs to trigger a cutscene. After the cutscene, cross the
bar to the other side.
PUZZLE: THE THREE HARD-TO-REACH CHESTS PUZZLE
Before you go up the mountain stairs to save the Oracle, you'll notice
a ledge in Athens Town Square with three Chests across from the Save
Point on the broken bridge. Do you see them?
To obtain their contents, have Kratos shimmy on the broken bridge
towards that ledge and jump onto the ledge and open the Chests for some
freebies.
You'll have to time your jumps so that Kratos hangs on the ledge with
his hands so you can shimmy over.
SAVE GAME
--OBJECTIVE: HEAD TO THE ORACLE GARDEN
Continue up the stairs and eliminate enemies on the way up. Watch for a
hidden Chest in one of the mountain walls!
Continue to the Oracle Garden to trigger a cutscene. After the cutscene
eliminate all the enemies here to trigger ANOTHER cutscene.
After the cutscene, head up the stairs and collect the Gorgon's Eye and
Phoenix Feather in the Chests on both sides of the temple.
SAVE GAME
Enter the temple to the top of the stairs to large room. Before opening
the door on the left side, head to the front of the room and grab the
Statues. Use the statues to cover up the cracks that keep spawning the
winged demons. Now open the door and head up the stairs and then
carefully cross the bars to the other side without any interference.
**There's a large piece of glass on the other end that you can smash
that has a Chest with a Gorgon's Eye!
SAVE GAME
Head up the halls while killing fools on the way out. Head outside to
trigger a cutscene.
ORACLE PUZZLE SOLUTION:
AAHH!! SHUT UP ALREADY!!! Here's how to solve this puzzle:
--Grab and drag one statue that's near the entrance and place it on the
elevator. (The elevator goes up and down every 10-20 seconds.)
--Wait for the elevator to go up so you can grab the other statue.
--When the elevator goes down again, drop the other statue ON TOP of
the first statue then jump down.
--Drag the two-tiered statue near the water fountain. Climb up to the
top of the gazebo and jump your way to the hanging vines.
--You have 66-Seconds to make your way to the other side and save the
Oracle. GOOD LUCK!
**The solution is simple: put one statue on top of the other!
Watch the cutscene. Before you leave the area, find all the hidden
Chests and a Gorgon's Eye.

Head thru the hallway outside.
SAVE GAME
There are two paths: the big-ass Sword path and the path going up the
mountain. There's nothing useful at the top of the hill (except a
Phoenix Feather).
Take the pathway with the big-ass Sword Bridge and continue down a
circular flight of stairs to the sewers.
You'll encounter Archers, Demon soldiers, Mini-Taurs, and Cyclops on
the way past the Sewers. Equip your best Combos and bring on the hurt.
Fight your way out of the sewers to the ladder on the other side
leading to a Spiral stairway. Head up the stairway and pull the lever
to end up at Athens (again).
AREA: ROAD TO ATHENS
Remember this place? Take the right path and then enter the doorway to
the Desert Of Lost Souls. Remember to SAVE GAME!
Head on down to the Desert to trigger a cutscene.

--OBJECTIVE: KILL ALL THREE SIRENS
When you enter the desert, Kratos is in the West area. The first Siren
is all the way to the East near the temple. Use Zeus's Fury to stop
her. Grab her when the Circle Button appears to perform a fatality.

Use rolls to evade their bolts and attack with Zeus's fury. It's the
faster way, TRUST ME!
The other two Sirens are in the northern and southern area. Listen for
faint singing. It'll get louder as you get closer. Be careful! These
two have Mini-taurs as bodyguards. Kill all three Sirens to continue
on.
Head to the opened temple.
SAVE GAME
Head down the stairs to a mini-puzzle.
CONVEYOR BELT PUZZLE:
Open the door with the Spartan logo to reveal a large block and a
Chest. You need to kick the block to the wall all the way to the left.
Watch out for soldiers!
Jump up to the top and open the door and continue through. Enter
through the doorway and use the large horn to part the sands "Ten
Commandments" style. Head through to trigger a cutscene at the other
end.

Cross the bridge to the temple. You can't jump to the guy burning stuff
so go the other way and make your way around the lower area to the
other side. See that lever? Pull it to reveal a set of steps. Quickly
jump up to the top to trigger a cutscene.
After the cutscene, a new enemy emerges.
NEW ENEMY: MEGA CYCLOPS
These guys are a mixture of the Mace-Wielding fiends (from the
beginning of the game) and the regular Cyclops. The strategies are the
same: Evade and counter. When the Circle Button appears, grab it and
press the buttons that appear to perform a fatality. There are four
total to kill so get killing!
After the mass slaughter, head up the stairs. Open the Chests at the
top for Essence and a Gorgon's Eye and Phoenix Feather.
Rotate the turnstile to open the doors. Head through to a large room.
Kill all the enemies and then read the Book top open the Door. Head

Go down the ring until you see a door with a skull (that you can't
enter yet). Across that door is an open hall with spiked smashers.
Make your way through the spikes and proceed to the next area. We'll
call this the Save Room.
SAVE GAME
AREA: SAVE ROOM
Head to the lever across the Save Point and pull it. A turnstile will
emerge outside the room. Head for the turnstile and rotate the room
until you see a Red Power-Up room. Head through it to a cutscene.

--OBJECTIVE: OBTAIN SHIELD OF ZEUS
Continue thru and kill all the enemies in this area. Don't go up the
stairs yet! Head to the doorway and kill the remaining enemies. Across
the doorway is a stack of wood. Drag it towards the door at the other
end of the room.
When you've gotten far enough, kick it towards the button and quickly
